What it does
Generate a branded YouTube thumbnail from a video title. Uses a reference photo of the creator, high-CTR thumbnail principles, and brand colours to produce a ready-to-generate image prompt for Gemini. Use this skill whenever the user says "thumbnail", "youtube thumbnail", "build me a thumbnail", or wants a video cover image before writing the script. The thumbnail-first workflow mirrors the graphic-first approach for LinkedIn: sells the video before anyone hears a word of the script.

Codex and Claude runtime
- Use this skill in Codex or Claude with the tools actually available in the current task.
AskUserQuestionexamples describe the questions, not a required API: use an available question tool within its limits, or ask in chat. Reuse answers and source material already supplied. - Work in the user-selected project. Read its
about-me.md,voice.mdand relevant brand files before personalised work. Confirm the intended author if files conflict or contain starter defaults. Ask for missing facts or runvoice-builder; never inherit the maintainer's identity, accounts or private files. - Resolve bundled
references/relative to this skill folder. For an explicitly requested profile refresh, read and update the canonicalabout-me.md,voice.mdornewsletter-voice.mdin place, preserving unrelated user facts and rules. Consumers must reread those canonical files. Use a new filename only for new deliverables that would collide with unrelated existing files. Installation alone never starts an interview or writes files. Do not write persistent learnings unless requested. - Use supplied evidence first. Verify external claims through available search/source tools when needed. If a source or integration is unavailable, name the missing capability and offer supplied text/export input. Never invent facts, first-person experience, metrics or a successful tool run.
- Connect only services needed for the chosen route through the user's existing account. Never print credentials or overwrite connections. Drafting, saving and reviewing do not authorise publishing, sending messages or changing accounts.
